When I say "migration" I'm refering to moving zones either: A) From one system to another B) Exporting a zone prior to upgrade, and then importing it after the upgrade. In either case we've got two problems: 1) Damage or invalidation of the package database (frankly I don't care much) 2) Non-cu

I can't speak to the VxVM / Vxfs but creating a sparse zone is as simple as using 'create -b' instead of the usual 'create' in zonecfg. As Enda mentioned, "create -b" starts you with a blank configuration which today gives you a "whole root" zone. However, the proper way of creating a "whole ro
